Best Bike You Have Ever Riden?

One thing about this though, I'm sure if some of us could store all the bikes we've ever ridden and pulled out the oldies that we loved so much and gave them a ride now we'd be surprised...

Those short wheelbases, high frames, narrow bars, seats....

I learnt trials on a 17" orange clockwork :'(

It had wider bars than usual and i upgraded to xt v brakes (the parrallel push ones).

They were the good old days, shame it snapped really lol.

I still could if i could be bothered to fix it all up. 18" kona scab, deore v-brakes (i up-graded). shimano hubs. Seat. i think it weighed 35lb+

sorry nick, but this has to be said (Y)

your bike was the worst thing I have ever ridden!!

Think its more due to the frame rather than how you had it set up, but it just felt like a bloody exspensive pogostick!

Bah you suck. I'm surprise you even know how to ride a bike in your old age :- 8-)

My bike is acemazin'.

My Echo ES3, was bicyxual. So dialled on the back tire, really throwable, light, still hasnt died. Could get it up anythng. Closely followed by my old Pashley 26 MHz. Very similar, lacked the standover height and rear wheel stability. Love the fact they were both so lively, really twitchy front end, because of the steep head angle. I now have a GMP and I hate it. Havent ridden a long bike that Ive liked yet.

I love my Python, but thats 'cos I'm used to it I guess... Probably Ian/Oggy's Vinco is the nicest bike I've ridden minus my own bike.. Oh and this new toy of mine is pretty nice, even though its not quite a bike :)

Hehe thats quite funky :)

My a to b bike bob (apollo something) was quite nice, but I think that was because I had it set up for a midget and that felt very easy to throw...even if the brakes didn't work and the bushings had gone. Its not broken after a snapped mech, from pedalling out of a junction in swansea....

My mates Norco manik is incredibly nice though. the forks eat anything that goes infront of it, and the back wheel balance for wheelies/manuals is very nice indeed. Even though I cant wheelie OR manual it feels nice :-
